    I've been testing it, and every time, the account is created as administrator.

    One option is to create a new account after installation, with the profile you want.

    I tested it with these autounattend (see attachment).

    2xH2_Creator_14.7 It works well.
    I don't quite understand why it is IoT and not LTSC.
    I used zh_cn_windows_11_enterprise_ltsc_2024_x64_dvd_cff9cd2d.iso
    EDIT: Does it automatically convert versions?:D
    Shouldn't it be Windows Enterprise LTSC?

    This is because the installation uses MAS HWID, which converts LTSC to IoT LTSC.

    Great, there is no need to manually convert versions anymore.If LTSC is needed, just change the activation parameter to \TSfoger.
    EDIT:hum HWID Only valid for 26100.

    In all my time its my understanding an Admin account will be created by default, IMHO you are best of having this account with your credentials as it will give you full access to all, unless your setting up for someone else perhaps.

    Why doesn't the address bar mouse click the back button and the previous button respond? Click on the directory but it pops up directly.Please forgive my poor English, so I can only use translation software.

    Do not use the classic interface of Windows 10, and do not disable firewall drivers.

    It seems to be an issue with the File Explorer. When I open "This PC" for the second time, everything works fine. However, the File Explorer pinned to the taskbar encounters problems no matter how many times I run it. After restarting the File Explorer in the Task Manager, the issue reoccurred.In addition, if a newly created user belongs to the users group, they will not have permission to execute CMD every time they log in, resulting in a loop.

    Is it caused by excessive optimization? I rarely use optimization; I usually just delete relevant files or drivers. If you search in Chinese, you can search for my username and find the published finished products.

    I don't know what might be happening there, like you.

    But what occurs to me is if you answered YES to the question below:

    Do you want to REMOVE ClickToDo - GetStarted - WindowsBackup ^?

    In that case, some Start Menu functionalities and others related to Windows Search and Explorer may be affected.

    I also searched the internet and see many complaints about Windows Explorer in Windows 11.

    Search it yourself and see for yourself.

    Attached are some of the research findings regarding Windows Explorer.

    What should I do if I need WebView2 runtime but unable to install? I am so used to Windows 10, windows 11 looks very weird to me.

    EDIT: I guess I have to disable this line
    Remove Edge.Webview2.Platform
    and create another ISO.

    Hi, please elaborate on the above statement.
    Also, what WebView2-related ".exe" file are you exactly trying to install, and what exactly happens when you try to do so?

    There's no need to remove the line above, as it's useful for those who don't use Edge.Webview2.

    I edited the script for the next version and removed the code that blocks the installation of Edge.Webview2.

    Please wait...
